Reversal Of Fortune
I was seized by the worst criminals and forced into bondage.
My captors liked to punish me in cruel but creative ways. They'd force me to hold down a weighted lever that would release a cage door for a hungry tiger should I let go. They'd cover me in honey and let bears lick me clean. They'd fill my mattress with earth worms. They'd purposely leave open an escape route but recapture me at the last moment.
But none of their tortures pained me as much as knowing that it had once been my job to dream up these punishments.
